>"No big deal - wears off by itself. Are you here for the treasures below?"

They don't speak for a few more moments, before swallowing.

"Wow...

Oh, the treasures? No, I'm more interested in The Treasure. I had heard rumors about it in my university, so I decided to take a break from my book learning and explore the world!

I traveled here, following the rumors, until I heard from the locals about all the strange happenings. Townsfolk would drop their whole life and enter the dungeon, most never to be seen again. This one guy, he stopped mid sentence and ran in, grabbing his pitchfork. They say he came out bruised, wet, and burnt- but stronger. That's when I knew it: this was the place. I couldn't NOT go in, if you know what I mean. I had to figure out what kind of item could do something so..."

They pause, gesturing, wringing their hands slowly.

"Y'Know? Powerful."

They gaze towards the door in anticipation, as if they expected something wondrous to burst out.

You loot their corpse, taking their Tome of Firefinger as well as a potion of Rejuvenation and 7 darts.

You walk to the door, heave it open, and enter the next room.

A large pond takes up most of the room. Several giant lillypads rest on the water's surface, with equally large frogs sitting on top of them. Each frog is almost double your height, with three visible in total.

The walls are still dirt, and there is no notable greenery attached to them. A door sits on the opposite side of the pond. Something catches your eye on one of the side walls, but when you look to it, you see nothing of interest.

1 of the 3 giant frogs turns towards you and blinks. You feel a rush of adrenaline.

In front of you are two Novice Kobolds. Neither notice you. The three of you enter into the first room.

Previous Description Wrote:At the end of the staircase, a damp dirt room waits for you. Moss carpets the ground and purple mushrooms cluster at the darkest recesses. The room is lit by the opening to the outside, as well as a crude lantern hanging from the wall. Many sharpened wooden poles protrude from the ground in front of a wooden door, dissuading the weak of heart.

The two kobolds begin talking to each other. They are both named Kilian.
